I am glad you left it as is. Thank you for sharing MThank you!
I was debating on getting it painted, but me personally it would take away from the originality of this grenade. I know it’s not 100% accurate for how rusted it is, but I’m sure if the prop was still around, it would be rusted too.
I don't think this is rust. Take a closer look when you have time. I thought mine was rusted to hell and it turned out to be light brown paint. This looks like yellow paint.
It seems to have been very common to use brown, tan, red, yellow paints to label ordnance inert in the UK.
Ok I’ll have to examine it further

Good catch, I think you are right on the money.
Congratulations on completing this amazing and satisfying journey. She looks beautiful!
Much appreciated!
Recently picked up this Female Balance pipe to swap out my Converted Male on my Real Parts.
It was/is quite heavily corroded and had a dented emitter. I spent some time over the weekend straightening it all out and cleaning off the surface corrosion with some mild cleaner. Whatever was sat on that surface for 70 odd years was clearly not nice stuff.
Would love a nicer specimen but this was a good opportunity!

Hi all. New here, allow me to break all of your hearts with my first post.
(this is not the one from my junkyard post, it's a different one) - Here's the condition of my cotton co. windvane. broken windvane, broken dreams. Luckily I work at a jewellers and we reckon we should be able to foot weld this back together, as it is a clean break.. I'll let you all know how this turns out.
P.s. lovely to be here. Very cool stuff, hope I complete an Obi someday.
P.s. p.s. anyone got a spare windvane, I'm err.. maybe needing one lmao.

Mine is also broken. I repaired mine with a small copper rectangle cut from flat sheet stock JB Welded to the backside.
